Review of Galaxy A35 5G camera: With image quality like this, it's truly a challenge for competitors in the same segment!

The demand for sharing photos on social media platforms is increasing, making the camera one of the crucial factors, even the top priority when users choose a device, especially in the mid-range segment. Understanding this, Samsung is increasingly focusing on the camera system in this segment, a prime example being the Galaxy A34 5G introduced last year. And this year, Samsung has brought back an upgraded version called the Galaxy A35 5G.

With a triple camera setup and smart image processing algorithms from Samsung, the photos taken by the Galaxy A35 5G are truly impressive. Let's evaluate these photos under various lighting conditions together.

Galaxy A35 5G Camera Specifications

Before delving into the detailed review, let's take a look at the camera specifications of the Galaxy A35 5G to get an overview.

Overall, the camera specifications of the Galaxy A35 5G are not significantly different from its predecessor, the A34. The main difference comes from the wide-angle camera, as the A35 5G is equipped with a 50MP sensor, f/1.8, 1/1.96', slightly better than the 48MP, f/1.8, 1/2.0 on the A34. However, this doesn't mean that Samsung's new product line lacks upgrades in terms of camera. In fact, with enhancements from the Exynos 1380 chipset, the Galaxy A35 5G has added features to support AI-based photo shooting. How these additions affect image quality will be answered by Mytour!

Photos taken with the Galaxy A35 5G camera

In well-lit conditions

In well-lit environments, photos taken with the Galaxy A35 5G display vibrant colors, high detail, warm and cool color tones pushed slightly higher than reality but not overly vivid or discomforting. It's evident that Samsung's intention is to provide users with lively, pleasing images that can be used straightaway without needing edits.

In reality, in well-lit environments, most mid-range products offer good photo capabilities, not just the Galaxy A35 5G. The difference lies in each brand's custom color tones. However, overall, photos from the Galaxy A35 5G have a harmonious and balanced overall color scheme.

The photos exhibit high detail, eye-catching colors, and smooth transition between light and dark areas. I believe this will be the most impressive camera phone in its segment.

Trying from a different angle is a bit challenging as the sun is setting, yet the Galaxy A35 5G still delivers quite good image quality with a certain clarity, maintaining high detail and more vibrant colors compared to reality.

During the capture, I also noticed an issue with white balance on the Korean brand smartphone. Specifically, when there are too many yellow tones in the photo, like in the flower garden below, the image will appear yellowish as seen in the picture. However, adjusting the shooting angle slightly will eliminate this phenomenon.

Similarly with the ultra-wide camera, from color reproduction, light handling, HDR processing, and detail, there's almost no difference compared to the 1x sensor. Overall, the photos have eye-catching colors and high detail. However, note that when shooting at ultra-wide angles, the image will be distorted and tilted slightly.

In daily use, I rarely use the ultra-wide camera, but when I need to capture landscapes or overall scenes, I appreciate the convenience of this lens. Like the photo below capturing a corner of Nguyen Hue Street, you can see that the HDR processing capability on the Galaxy A35 5G is very impressive as details in both dark and bright areas are clear and sharp.

Trying out 2x zoom

Although not equipped with optical zoom, photos taken by the Galaxy A35 5G in 2x mode are still very impressive. The images have good detail without blurring or color distortion, and no visible noise. The image processing algorithm on the Galaxy A35 5G is commendable.

Photos taken in low-light conditions

In environments with low light, the photo quality of the Galaxy A35 5G still meets social media sharing needs with good detail, minimal noise, and accurate color representation. However, to capture more light, the shutter speed will decrease, requiring a steady hand to avoid blurring.

Alternatively, you can use this to freeze moving subjects by panning the camera along the subject's direction.

Overall, in low-light conditions as long as there is environmental light support like car lights, street lights, or lights from buildings, the Galaxy A35 5G can still produce a photo that meets users' virtual life needs. For example, the image of the People's Committee of the City below is overall satisfactory with high detail, clear color representation, especially low noise.

With the ultra-wide camera, in low-light environments, photos from the Galaxy A35 5G still have a certain level of sharpness with static subjects, but with moving subjects, there may be blurring, some details in dark areas may be lost, and slight noise may appear. The HDR processing capability in this environment is also not very good yet. However, overall, it is still usable.

Additionally, colors are somewhat less vibrant compared to the main camera. It's also understandable because in this price segment, it's really difficult to find a smartphone that takes beautiful night shots.

Even in darker environments, the image quality will decrease further, for example, photos taken in District 1 from the Ba Son bridge direction. In such low-light conditions, the overall brightness is pushed up by the algorithm, causing loss of detail and overexposure. So, if you use the wide-angle camera, pay a bit more attention to the lighting. Personally, I also use the ultra-wide camera less at night, so this issue isn't too important to me.

Macro camera

I personally don't rate the macro camera highly because I rarely use it. However, for capturing close-up shots of small objects, it can be quite interesting. Overall, the photo quality in well-lit conditions is also quite satisfactory.

Portrait photos

In terms of portrait capabilities, the Galaxy A35 5G produces portrait photos with vibrant colors overall, smooth skin processing with a slight tone enhancement compared to reality, clear separation of other details. Additionally, the device is equipped with a portrait mode that accurately highlights the subject while creating a very good background bokeh. I also highly appreciate the bokeh removal capability on this Samsung device.

The bokeh removal capability on the Galaxy A35 5G is very impressive; however, during usage, it's recommended to reduce it to level 3 or 4 for more pleasing images.

Similarly, in low-light environments, portrait photos from the Galaxy A35 5G still maintain good quality, meeting users' needs. The photos have high detail, accurate bokeh removal, and clear representation of details like hair. Additionally, skin smoothing is done gently without being too artificial compared to some other brands.

Conclusion about the camera on Galaxy A35 5G

In summary, equipped with a triple-lens setup with various shooting modes, the Galaxy A35 5G will definitely satisfy users with vibrant, detailed, and colorful photos in well-lit environments.

Conversely, in low-light environments, the photos meet basic needs but improvements are still needed, especially for the ultra-wide lens. The macro lens offers interesting perspectives, although personally, I think replacing it with a telephoto lens would be better for Samsung. However, overall, the camera on the Galaxy A35 5G is still very impressive. With photo quality like this, it's a heavyweight contender in the camera segment.
